Give Matt Causey a nickname

Matt Causey, Georgia Tech’s fiery point guard, has a tendency to get under the skin of opponents and drive opposing crowds wild. They yell everything from Frodo to Muppet to Hobbit at the shaggy-haired Causey. But that just fires him up.

What he needs is a real nickname. Anyone have any suggestions? Be nice, because you don’t want to make him mad.

His family calls him “Matt” and that is what he wants to be called. You need to just back off on this nickname foolishness.

Let’s call him Dawg Food—in fact, that’s what we should name the whole team—the North Avenue Trade School Dawg Food…..hmmmmm, it’s got a good ring to it.

“Bull” Causey would be appropriate. He is a bit like Admiral “Bull” Haulsey of WWII fame. He didn’t back down from anyone either.

I would trade the entire Creekside High administration to get Coach Hollis Bethea back as the head boys basketball coach over at Banneker High School.

My son originally used this one on Will Bynum … but it fits Causey, as well … Fireflywhirls around the court, always ‘in your ear’, and “lights it up!!”

I got news for all you techies, Causey has been playing ball since he was 4 years old. His family is wealthy and had a full basketball court in the basement of thier house. He is a good player but frankly hes a full fledged A_ _ hole!

Pensacola Dog, we are not commenting on his personality off the court so much as his actions on the court. I know that is a hard distinction to make, they probably didn’t even teach you what distinction means in grass cutting 101. As for him having a full court in his basement…good for him.

If you check Causey’s picture on the AJC Tech page, you can clearly see that he is upset because his panties are in a wad. That can prevent you from having a good dribble.

Kami-Causey is hilarious. Too funny. That wins hands down. I know that College Fan can’t be a UGA Grad. You had a player arrested within the last week who was on probation already. Talk about FUTURE FELON!

I really like how thes Jackets are shaping up. Looking really tough now. Maryland and UNC are some pretty hot teams and we lost by 3 collectively. I’d like to play Vandy and Indiana now with how the point guards are playing and with the play of Lawal and Peacock now. These 4 plus Bell not having to be the point guard makes this an entirely different team. UCONN is going to be a great game. Need to beat a top 25 team. We will only get 1 more shot after this one, maybe another. So we need to go up there and have a high scoring game. It looks like UCONN has lower scoring games so we need Moe and Kami-Causey to really push the ball!

Go Jackets!

Furman Techie- The point is he is just using Tech for his own glory just like he did at the 3 high schools and 3 colleges he played ball with.!!!But then agin…we are talking about Tech.. so good for him!

Someone’s a little jealous Pensacola. Give the kid a break. Causey is a freind of mine from high school and now at tech. U have no idea why he made the moves he made. He’s making it count now. Sorry about Billy Humphrey though. LONG LIVE TECH! LONG LIVE WONDERBREAD!

His play at the UVA game made me see him as a guy who was ready to sacrifice himself for the team win - [Think dislocated this-n-that, sprained this-n-that, broken this-n-that] I said to my son - that guy is a freaking kamikaze!”

Hence KamiCausey…

And I have said it ever since!

Go Jackets!
